The Power Of Faith (Part 2) - Esteban San Martin

Romans 10:10-17

₁₀ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ₁₁ For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” ₁₂ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. ₁₃ For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” ₁₄ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? ₁₅ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" ₁₆ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed our report?" ₁₇ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Luke 8:11-15

₁₁ “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. ₁₂ Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. ₁₃ But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. ₁₄ Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. ₁₅ But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
